Description:

  • Patricia Cheesman Naenna, the internationally known textile expert and author of books on Thai textiles, makes long, blousy jackets of originally designed silk ikat (priced for export at 3,500B [$140] each). They're gorgeous and extremely wearable, as are her dresses, fitted skirts, range of pants styles for women, and muted silk-ikat shirts for men--all made in her own workshops. She also keeps a collection of traditional silk-ikat patterns available in the large widths good for Western tailoring at 1,100B ($44) per meter. Handsome leather-trimmed silk-ikat attaché cases go for 550B ($22) and scarves start at 500B ($20). Everything here is selectively chosen, and the atmosphere of the place (one block south of the Nantawan Arcade and parallel to Huai Kaeo Road) is refreshingly serene. One of our favorites.
